The Oculus Rift by Oculus VR has been causing a stir in the gaming world, and its appearance at Eurogamer Expo 2013 has been no different. So far, the Oculus Rift has been visiting the Cons and Expos with a variety of games; from EVE to Hawken, but at EGX they decided to show off their capabilities in the upcoming MMOFPS, War Thunder.
One of the biggest events in pretty much every gamer’s calendar is the yearly Eurogamer Expo. Once again it has blown us out of the water with the sheer scale and beauty that only the Eurogamer team seem to be able to provide us all.
Neil Hickton and Andy Buick chat with Matt Parker and Mike Smith about the things that impressed us, the massive games that wowed us and those not so little things, queues, as well as everything in-between.
In this Episode the team talk about:
Eurogamer Expo 2013
Queuing The show floor
Indie Arcade
Rezzed Area
AAA games
Developer sessions
Favourite games of the show
In this hands on preview, Dave lets us know whether the most anticipated game of 2014, Titanfall, is really worth all the hype.
Going by the previews and hands-on impressions, one would think this game is made of magic - as if it's actually what you would find at the end of the rainbow.
I hope it's all true.
"the most anticipated game of 2014", What!? no, its not! its just another generic FPS being talked up by the MS fanboys because its a exclusive, that is all it is. And the game is probably going to only run at 720p, its COD with mech's running on a old source engine with so-so graphics. You fanboys gotta get out more
Careful dantesparda one is not suppose to say anything negative about the all mighty Titanfall here on N4Xbox.
A very Solid game with New gameplay! People are lookign forward to this game including myself.
No PS4 version (Yippie) because the Game has CLoud support, some of the enemies are Enemy A.I. controlled by the server along side 64 players.
Makes for some unique gaming. gonna buy it myself for PC.
"No PS4 version (Yippie)"
You just had to fanboy it up, didn't you? Lol.
I'm excited for it too, but all you're doing is baiting people. Tisk tisk.
OT:
I likes it. I'm going to buy the disc version though (as opposed to downloading it).
Yeah...this is xbone's saving grace. If it can combat all the negative press at launch with a stable release, the tables may turn early next yr. This is a game that sells consoles...period. Especially to all those CoD lovers...and Sony has captured millions of CoD players despite the deal MS has with activision. But this game is gonna demand fps fans purchase an xbone.
Titanfall is coming up fast on the preorders too. Almost past knack with 20 weeks to go. Imagine if it was available a over a year ago for preorder like Destiny has been.
It shows what fanboys, the MS fanboys on this site are. I dont hear Sony fanboys talking up Knack like its the greatest thing just cuz its a exclusive
ggj
Titan is a game that is so hyped that it is considered the next cod against Knack which no obe is really talking about much. Heck xbots laugh at it and yet it is ahead of their overhyped titanfall still.
Just wondering. How a game running at 720p will be the first game to truly show us what next can do? Gameplay looks fun but the graphics are not that impressive.
um, no sir, you are the moron, for the rumors are that this game is going to be 720p to and so far most of the rumors have been coming through and the developers themselves would not confirm that the game runs at 1080, only that it will run at 60fps
@big c
Ur a buffoon. Ur statement doesn't even make sense.
"U think ever xb1 is 720." What does that even mean?
What a buffoon.
It's a reason why you have to make multiple accounts.
Great statement. And what I love most is that it will b native 720p also...simply scaled up to 1080p. But no one will b talking about whether its actually next gen material b/c it will be obvious by..its gameplay!! No one will care if its blacks r too black or whether it doesn't look as good from 12 inches.
Don't get me wrong...I love what Sony has done...and I am getting an xbone b/c I can't get a ps4 anywhere. Otherwise I would choose ps4 day 1 and buy an xbone next March. But I wonder...while the ps4 is the must own console at launch...when titanfall releases...the xbone will become a must buy for millions. Does Sony have anything to combat that when ppl realize that a slight graphical difference isn't that big of a deal. Yeah...a new Uncharted may be a console seller but is Infamous? Killzone? I think that MS will get bailed out by Titanfall and they knew it all along. Thats why their emphasis is on everything else the machine can do.
About 5 months until Titanfall. I hope the day one games will stop me from thinking about Titanfall.
Leet reviews this year's Eurogamer Expo and explains how to deal with queue-jumpers
its all down to 2 things the support it gets and the price.
Not a Gimmick, it is the future.
I will take this as the future of gaming over Kinect 2.0 or PlayStation Camera any day.
it just needs to be implemented on a system level so that it isnt any extra work for game developers.
The main reason i think the Oculus Rift will do much better than gimmicky motion controls is that this requires no extra effort from the player, but adds greatly to the immersion. It is the perfect way to advance gaming.
Its a lot less of a Gimmick than 3D is. At least with Occulus rift people like me can use it but I cant see 3d. I've tried shutter glasses 3D and that other 3D with polarised glasses and didn't see 3D at all. It looksed like normal TV to my eyes. I will buy the Rift headset for sure. I cant see it dying off as fast as 3D.
Depends. Oculus Rift should get some more support, if it isn't just a gimmick.
Tried out at Pax and I was conquered!
